about

It's about old friends.

lyrics

I heard we were through, from someone other than you
Guess you told all your stories now, go on and tell 'em to someone new
Never thought the bitter end, would come at the hands of a friend
But I forgot about your junkie pride, always breaking before you bend

So sing your little song of one, sing it loud to no one
Take it nice and slow, and really come undone
Don't worry about the rhyme, rhyme, rhyme, it'll be just fine, fine, fine
You got time, cuz it ain't long, your song of one

Humility is hard won, better stick to your martyrdom
You work better so low anyhow, so stay down there where you belong
Takes a lot of guts to be, a monarch amid democracy
So go on and clean your dungeons out, and one day you'll be free

To sing your little song of one, sing it loud to exactly no one
Take it nice and slow, and really come undone
Don't worry about the rhyme, rhyme, rhyme, it'll work out fine, fine, fine
It's just one line, and it can only go wrong, your little song of one

So sing it out loud
